ymnasts spring to impressive 8-1 season eese and awes qualify or state meet This years record was quite impressive. The gymnastics team ended X the season with a 8-l record losing only 'X to Pendleton a AAA school. Hosting the district competition was the climax of the year for most of the girls, but Mac- Hi sent two of it's girls to the state competition in Portland. Jamie Reese, senior gymnast and three year veteran to state competition, qualified for state in all her areas as well as all-around. Jenny Hawes, junior gymnast, qualified for state in the vaulting competition. There was quite a bit of talent this year in the younger girls. Katie Pearson and Cindy Davidson shared the award for most promising gymnast. Ms. Davidson performed in the bars competition while Ms Pearson worked on floor and beam. jamie Reese was awarded the outstanding gymnast award for the third year in a row. Linda Davis was chosen by the girls to be most inspirational and jenny Hawes was awarded the most improved gymnast award. The only two freshmen to be awarded with their letters were Cindy Davidson and Katie Pearson. The chief complaint of the senior was that AAA schools compete in the same group as the smaller AA and A schools. AAA schools have a higher enrollment and have more chances to work out the entire year. AA and A schools have only a few months to practice and compete. Because of this the competition is very unfair and the AAA gymnasts end up with most of the honors and the girls from the smaller schools are left out in the cold. This year the gymnasts were honored with the assistance of former Mac-Hi gymnast Mimi Perkins. Ms Perkins chief concern was to assist the girls working in the bars area. Ms Perkins was a great influence on most of the girls. She gave help as well as confidence.
